Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) gained more than 1% after bagging an order worth ₹6,650 crore from NTPC.
The deets: the order is to build a massive 800 MW supercritical thermal power unit in Odisha’s Sundargarh district.
A 800 MW supercritical thermal power unit is big enough to power over 8 lakh homes at once. It’s like lighting up an entire city with one giant plant.
The project is a full EPC package, covering design, equipment supply, civil works, and commissioning for Darlipali Stage II.
Darlipali Stage II is the second phase of NTPC’s large thermal power project in Sundargarh, Odisha, which adds another 800 MW unit to boost electricity supply in eastern India.
Why it’s important: the Darlipali Stage II thermal power plant is set to be a game-changer for Odisha’s power and economic landscape.
The state’s economy runs on energy-intensive sectors like steel, aluminum, and mining, and this project ensures they get a stable power supply to sustain production and jobs.
The plant’s supercritical technology also makes it more efficient, producing more power with less coal and lower emissions.
